Little Deep Thoughts

The path to your goal is not always going to be smooth. Obstacles will arise and problems will develop, but you have to remember what you're striving for.... don't forget the big picture and don't let small mishaps or small failures stop you. Every obstacle or challenge you encounter on the journey transforms you as you acquire strength of character and the qualities and abilities you need to overcome the obstacle or challenge. The emergence of these qualities and abilities shape you into the kind of person you need to become to achieve your dream. For that reason, challenges and obstacles are great indications that you are well along the way on your journey. In fact, the bigger the obstacles and challenges you face, the bigger your success will be, and the closer you are to achieving it. If you have ever faced anything in your life that you had no choice but to overcome, you will have found strengths that you didn't know you had. Those strengths you gain from your...

You will have seen the delirious happiness of sports teams winning championships, and of athletes winning gold medals and breaking world records. Their energy is so potent it sweeps over you; you are filled with exhilaration, and even stirred to tears. Yet our feelings in watching them are nothing compared to what the sports person or athlete is feeling in their moment of victory. For it's only after having taken every step of the journey, having persisted through the challenges and overcoming all the obstacles, that you can know what it truly feels like to experience the ultimate reward of the moment of success. The ultimate reward of the success of your dream does not mark the end of the journey, but the beginning of another.

The money, opportunities, and success bring with them a glorious sense of freedom, but they don't compare with the overwhelming joy and...

My mom always said that something good is just about to happen. I didn't realise this early on, but I've lived my life with the thought that no matter how dark or how difficult things become, there's this consistent hope that it's just about to turn. My mom gave me the gift of that. It keeps me positive and keep me always looking towards things in an optimistic manner. I've been very fortunate to live my life with that thought. Because of the duality on earth, there are always going to be both positive and negative experiences. But if you consistently look for the good and maintain a positive attitude despite outside circumstances, you will triumph. And there are no better words to remember to help you maintain a positive attitude than mom's words :" Something good is about to happen!" If you always know that something good is about to happen, your optimism will never waiver for long. People who are happy and successful think more about the good t...

The journey itself will never be as you think. You have an idea of the destination, but you never know the route. Many people give up on their dreams or don't even begin to pursue them because from where they are standing they can't see the whole path to their dreams. You will never see the whole path ahead, and so you will never know how your dream is going to come true. No successful person has ever known how his or her dream would happen. They simply believed that it would happen and did not give up until it did.
